It was after school hours . Dan finally managed to take Midori to the nearby café . However, she brought Mei and Mei brought Shaoting, but he did not mind . She is officially his after all .

"So you're officially together now! Oh my!" Mei seemed like a puppy wagging her tail in excitement .

Midori had a wide smile while showing her necklace .

"D for Dan?" Mei looked at the pendant interestingly .

Dan cleared his throat . "For Dori . "

Shaoting snorted . His friend is too cheesy!

Mei sneered at his reply and jokingly showed s.h.i.+vering disgust .

Laughter came from their lovely table .

Not too far from them at a corner of the café, two girls seemed annoyed of the noise .

"Rus.h.i.+, she took another good one from you again!" The shorter girl was speaking in hushed tones .

The girl called Rus.h.i.+ smirked . "It won't be long when I'll take one from her . " Her eyes were glimmering but with a sly nature .

These girls have attended the same school as Midori as far as they can remember .

Ming Rus.h.i.+ is a madonna to every cla.s.s she is in . Her skin is flawless and fair like porcelain . She has thin, straight brows, dark brown eyes, tall nose, and thin lips . Her beauty is sort of sophisticated and her aura is mature .

However, even with such appearance, Midori somehow surpa.s.sed her in appeal throughout the years, gaining leading roles in school plays and the latest being cheer captain .

In facf, she was the first to notice Dan in school during his first day . Unluckily for her, her grades can only land her on Cla.s.s D .

Meanwhile, in a cla.s.sy restaurant outside the city, Xiu Jin was sipping tea in front of a woman .

"So, to what do I owe the presence of XCG's CEO?" the woman casually asked .

"Su . . . " he cleared his throat . "Linyu . "

"Oh, so this is a casual conversation . . ? Fine . Speak up, Jin . " She took her coffee and drank some .

"It seems your boy took a liking on my girl . " He looked at her with a faint smile .

"I won't mind . In any case, they won't be the first generation to break an engagement between our families . " Her lips curved into a smile but her eyes had a bit of disdain on them .

"Linyu . . . I'm very sorry that it didn't work out between us . . . "

"Between us? There was nothing, right? Truthfully, Jin, I was not upset that you chose someone else over me . I was just disappointed because you did not even give me some face . Would it have killed you to tell us beforehand instead of announcing it during our engagement party?"

"Linyu, I . . . "

"Don't worry . I will not take anything away from your daughter . I will act as I did with you and Aoi . "

"Thank you, Linyu . My daughter's happiness means so much to me . " He smiled sincerely .

"I raised my son well, so rest a.s.sured that he won't do what you did . I just hope you raised your daughter well . " With that, Su Linyu stood up from her seat and exited the establishment .

In the Zhou household . . .

"Verdan Zhou, there is something we need to discuss . " Madam Zhou stood up and walked out of the dining table .

Dan looked at Vanessa and his father, but they were confused as well . His father motioned for him to follow his mother to the study .

"Ma, what is it?" Dan took a seat in front of the desk, facing his mother .

Su Linyu sighed, then looked at him sternly . "I heard that you are dating the Xiu family's young mistress . "

"That's true . Is there a problem, Mother?" Dan looked into her eyes truthfully .

"Don't get me wrong . It doesn't bother me . It's just that their family is very prominent in the industry . You cannot afford to offend them . "

"Ma, I'm serious about her . I am not playing around . " He was a little offended by her words .

"Good . Go and take some rest now . " Her gaze followed her son's back as he left the room, with eyes squinting while she submerged herself in deep thought .
